In the wake of the sad death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, what happens to his role in the final "Hunger Games" movies is a very small concern. Nonetheless, it's one that the filmmakers will have to figure out in the coming months.

Hoffman had one week left of production on "Mockingjay - Part 2" and had not yet filmed a major scene involving his character, gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee. Now, a source tells the New York Post that editors will digitally recreate the actor using computer graphics and camera tricks.

"You can do digital things, you can have conversations where you're not focusing on him but the people he's talking to," an insider told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week.

No one has confirmed which scene is the one in question. If it's in the second "Mockingjay" movie -- SPOILER ALERT -- perhaps it's when Plutarch visits Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) in the hospital after she was choked by Peeta? Or at the very end, when he testifies on her behalf at her trial for the murder of President Coin?

We'll find out when "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" hits theaters November 20, 2015.

This is one of those examples of Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance being much, much better than the movie it's a part of. "Charlie Wilson's War," Mike Nichols's true-life war comedy, is about a covert operation led by a U.S. senator (Tom Hanks) who conspires with a C.I.A. operative (Hoffman) to arm and train the Afghan mujahedeen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. Aaron Sorkin's script is smart and Nichols's direction occasionally snappy, but you can feel (violently) each time a punch is pulled, and the movie is a mess editorially (a 9/11-era "Dr. Strangelove" is watered down to accommodate a Hanks/Julia Roberts romantic comedy). Thankfully, none of this seems to impact the power of Hoffman's performance; as a tightly wound, foul-mouthed secret agent, he's the anti-James Bond, spending just as much time facing bureaucratic nonsense as he is trying to sway the war. Hoffman makes us understand how such a fiery loose cannon could get along so splendidly with Hanks's svelte politician; they shared a similar ideology and frustration with a "system." It's a testament to the transcendence of his performance (he was nominated for an Academy Award for Supporting Actor) that it was one of the things I immediately wanted to revisit upon learning of the actor's death.
